"The greatest Disney park disaster ever"

And 'Little Mermaid' to make big box office splash

What to know

• Inside Disney’s billion-dollar Star Wars hotel blunder… The Wrap has a thorough (yet paywalled) write up of what happened with the failed Galactic Starcruiser. To sum it up, “a combination of hubris, mismanagement and greed” led to “perhaps the greatest Disney theme park disaster ever.” Wow. The outlet says the project will become a $300 million write down and likely won’t be repurposed into anything else. What a disaster. ✨
